Just saw a written account of a totally made-up, on-air argument between Jimmy Kimmel and Kane Brown (?) about America, above an AI photo of the two of them. I didn’t even THINK about what AI was going to do for Marine Todd, but they’re using it to make Marine Todd Ultra

Terrible / hilarious news: because of IP address geolocation it has decided to automatically dub this into French, which makes it even more surreal

There was an old Doug Stanhope bit about how being a Yankees fan is like going to a casino and rooting for the house and being a huge asshole about it

I feel like i hallucinated seeing it once and couldn't remember but tbh if it's something that's been posted then I feel inclined to delete. I don't want to violate the code

I would absolutely worship the ground walked upon by anyone who isolated the bass tracks from Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way"

There was a special button sequence you could enter in Mortal Kombat III to make the fighters start fucking and if you did it right the screen would display "NUDALITY"

The Fence @thefence.bsky.social · 4d

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

At a certain point it becomes prohibitively annoying to make layered images on an iPhone but that won't stop me
